- FARMERS ARE CHANGING THE WORLD, RESTORING THEIR SOIL BY CONVERTING TO REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE.
For over 70 years farmers have been pressured to make agriculture and food production more and more industrialised.
‘Soils are disturbed so intensively that the earth literally moves, causing massive degradation, flooding, water pollution and erosion.’
We have been losing land area, essentially from erosion at the rate of about 10 million, 7 - 10 million hectares per year, which is almost the size of Portugal.
All over the world farmers are developing an alternative system to regenerate soil instead of eroding it. To protect and increase water retention by covering with mulch and by growing continuous diverse crops, without tilling or ploughing. It’s called Conservation Agriculture or no-till farming.

Thank heaven, we're going back to nature, the way things used to be before chemicals started wiping out the planet.
Thank you, thank you so much.
Totally Agree!!

It's about time I saw real animals feeding the soil the way they're supposed to.
Excellent point!
Superb. We need to hear more stories of no till and cover crop experiences from farmers all around the UK on different soil types. This will help inspire and create faith in the techniques.
12.5% is now a significant figure for regenerative agriculture globally. It will continue to flourish because lower input costs mean higher profitability for farmers instead of agrochemical corporations. The writing is on the wall, just as it has been for energy from fossil fuels once renewable energy became cheaper. This is truly a revolution from the ground up. Have faith and confidence that this is a better way.
Good work ... thats exactly what om doing i am a backyard gardener and tet to spread the word to other G gardeners its all i can do as a cityboy . But we can shange the world one yard at the time. And many Friends doing it already ; no dig no till . Keep doing the good work xxx jp
I am building a hey bale garden bed to grow strawberries in next year. I cant wait to see the look of my pessimist close minded neighbor. I will make her drool
I met with an international group to talk about local soil and we shared your video. People were really inspired to hear about these practices - three years on theres still a gap in mainstream knowledge. Thank you for helping us learn.
Eaguerly waiting for the moment when these 12 per cent are half the agricultural soil of the planet.
Excellent video for teaching soil conservation techniques and explaining no till farming
It's unproductive to look at regenerative agriculture as a "movement" - it is a set of technologies. It's not about being a "tree huger" or "Gaia worshiper" - it's just about being a rational farmer. Just like there are other reasons for getting rid of fossil fuels then their impact on climate.
I agree. Mob grazing, agroforestery, wind-break, all existed prior to those marketable names such as permaculture, regenerative, etc... Those techniques if not use properly for a given environment won’t work...
If you want to change the world, you have to demonstrate that it's profitable to do so. Otherwise people will just stay in their old tracks. I think the carrot is far more motivating than the whip.
@@Trezker Different people have different motivations, but, yes, profit is a great incentive, the only one in "corporate world". Why else would oil companies find sudden interest in renewable energy sources? (Sadly, this interest has two components: realization that the race for the biggest slice of renewables cake has started, but also that in many (most) places the problem of wind and solar intermittency has not been solved, so natural gas peakers can be "reasonably" promoted as "the solution".)
Thanks for this new information.
Great! Thanks for producing such a good informative video
Such good news in a sad world. I love this.
No till agriculture or the God's way of agriculture should take over and become the dominant type of agriculture in the whole world.
Deze mensen hebben geen God. Ze spreken over een planeet en filosofische manieren. Waar wordt God geëerd? Alleen bij Yellow Agro uit Nederland
Nice.
Waka warku.
I have told my farming buddies this for 15 years. They were losing their topsoil. They don't realize the absolute crisis they have committed to agriculture especially in the bread basket of America. Most farmers today don't own the land they rent it yet call themselves farmers.
Regenerative agriculture is what I call building a "domestic ecosystem"!
That's great idea but you need to realise that most of no-till farmers use glyphosate in their operations. I rather focus on regenerative organic system. As Jeff Moyer said: I rather plow my land if I have to spray to be no-till. Regenerative means regenerative, spraying chemicals isn't regenerative at all, even if it's small amounts.
Check out some of Ian and Di Haggerty's results around the rapid breakdown of chemicals in a healthy soil food web that is not disrupted by plowing.
If the only thing we accept as "good" is perfection, we will forever be unsuccessful. Every step in the right direction is positive, challenge yourself not to be negative about people who are making improvements.
@@greatdane3343Thank you for your comment. For me No-till is just a tool not a solution. There are many more like: agroforestry, alleycropping, rotational grazing, pasture cropping, striptill, mintill, above that is holistic management and what is more important: consciousness.
In most cases ploughing is far more damaging to soil than herbicide. Herbicides can also be buffered with a carbon source to make them break down quicker (fulvic acid or molasses for example).
Dat is waar
To terminate a cover crop a crimper can be used (better if eaten by a ruminant).
I saw one operation (video) where the same tractor, in one pass, push crimped a tall grass cover (rye + weeds), cut and seeded the cotton (cash crop), and inoculated the furrow. It worked very well, esp when compared to his neighbour (plough and fertiliser). Water retention, cooler ground, more soil activity, etc.
Looked weird but he had the land and built the setup.
I am a waiting so much until i can take part in regenerative agriculture. Its so interesting 😀
waiting for what?????? lol

Preben you can just, start, "doing". or learning. i hope your parents will encourage you as you try something now. sing, and you are a singer. farm, and you are a farmer. and carpe diem. good luck.
@@rachaelmorrow6669 the last 200 years is all know a big lie !!! you must format your bio harddrive ..and copy a new bios and dos/software on it ... but what ??? of course the old know before ... ur-cult i learn this the last 5 year...and ??? the rest learn the new ... bingo???
Grazing livestock helps mimic nature. I've been impressed with Allen Savory and his grazing techniques.
Excellent!
I plan to do No Till agriculture in Tunisia.
Even the cutting disk is arguably too disruptive. The key to Regen Ag is developing and maintaining a humus layer: and that means placing the seeds for cash crops on the soil below the humus without overly disturbing the humus.
This common sense thinking has been suppressed by petro chemical multinationals since 1946.
Hopefully now this type of agriculture will be subsidised and supported by governments for farmers to do what they want to do - FARM!
Applying Holistic management to any of the regenerative systems (Savory institute) supplies a good manegerial structure for these systems. Videos by Gabe Brown are a good example of how this can be applied to no till/cover cropping production.
💪🏼💪🏼
Very nice.....«agroecosistems»
seems to work fine for grain ect, how u going to accomplice it for crops like potatoes or sugar beets?
What have you come up with since you asked this question? There are lots of videos on potatoes (put the seed potatoes on top of the humus layer, cover with straw, water in, cover the straw with something to prevent its blowing away until the plant grows, remove the ballast; to harvest, peel away the straw. With sugar beets and other in-ground tubers/root vegetables which disturb the soil when harvested, push the loose soil back into the hole, touch up the humus layer and start a cover crop straight away. On large Regen.Agric potato/beet farms they probably use/make equipment that reflects the above and looks after the soil.
I really enjoyed this we are new to farming and this offgrid life we have chosen but are learning so much about helping our planet and will definitely be doing regenerative farming and trying to reduce our carbon footprint.
Great video.

Moin.. interessanter Clip! Sehr gut! :D
Hast du eigentlich dieses Aktivwasser von einem solchen Hydrogen Rich Water Maker schon mal getestet?
Dieses Wasser ist richtig unvergleichlich! 👍
Es hilft einem echt produktiv zu sein !! ❤
Hallöchen! schöne Erklärung! Thanks! :)
Hast du schon mal vielleicht das Aktivwasser von einem solchen Wasserstoffanreicherer jemals probiert?
Dieses Getränk ist echt richtig gut! ☘
Ich trinke es vor allem nachdem Tennis spielen !! ❤
Not all weeds, are weeds! Many are medicinal. ❤ Not talking about that "weed" either. Dandelions, spikey lettuce , plantain weeds and many more!
Look into the "Lost Ways and Herbal remedies" Nicole Apelion and I think his name is Claude Davis.

Good video
It's not food 🐂🐂 it's injustice
500th 😀
We really need wild life back, ¡ mean, we are not the most important shit on earth.., we share planet with other species,..
John Cherry we not live on a godless planet. It is Jehowah God His earth, flat and stationary
We want justice for the animals
Ban factory farming and force everyone to eat halal and then animals won't be abused.
Speak for yourself if that's what you're doing. These animals are fine.
Cows feel pain love fear and joy just like us. They never consented to being murdered for a carcinogenic sandwich.
Indeed, animals do think, so does plants. Where do you draw the line? For you, it seems like it’s an animal that is big enough for you to notice it. But for other people it is not. Different realities.
However they do deserve a chance to live and farmed grasslands give them that chance. They can also help those grasslands sequester carbon to improve the soil. Animals on farmland are essential to regenerate our soils.
Try finding a vegetarian or vegan ecosystem in nature....
Food forests, foraging, etc. Agriculture is the problem. Roots have to go deep into the ground.
Agriculture is not the problem. Its the management of the agriculture thats the problem. Agriculture done properly can heal our soils and grow more food for us and the wildlife.
Cows feel pain just like us.
They feel more pain at old age from living than they do when a Muslim butcher gives them water to drink and slashes their neck with a sharp knife. Did you know that the guillotine works by the same principle, that slashing the neck makes the animal or person not feel pain?
@@Moses_VII No one thinks about the mice and rabbits that are injected with cancers and watched to die for weeks to see how they progress on different drugs. Never mind, that's for us.
Would you rather they never lived?
We want freedom for the animals
who tf let that guy be a professor?
Friends not food 🐂🐂🐂🐂
Every morsel of meat you eat is slapping the tear stained face of a hungry child
Grow more meat to feed the hungry child. In most places where people are hungry, animal agriculture is the most viable solution in any case.
It's not food 🐂🐑🐑🐮🦆🦃🦃 it's VIOLENCE
The reason God (SWT) wants us to eat livestock is because they suffer when they reach a certain, old age.
I've seen a video of a Muslim family in Austria who keep poultry. They hace an area where they keep the old ones; some of them struggle to walk. They put them there so that they know which one to eat when they get hungry.
Someone not something 🐂🐂🐑🐂🐮
Take pandemics off the menu
Their babies 🐂🐑 not ours
Take animal CRUELTY off the menu
Horticulture not slaughter culture
Their bodies 🐂 not ours
Yet with abortion it is your body and not a child.
Nothing humane happens in a house of mass slaughter
Bro, you're under the wrong video... please go to your industrial farming.
@@lordnessa5893 all farmed animals end up at the same horrific slaughter houses against their will for absolutely no good reason.
@@analogueteapot1503 Is the main subject of this video slaughterhouses? No. (And why do you believe all animals end up in slaughterhouses? Is there an universal law I am not aware of and some people don’t respect?)
Eat beans not beings
Watch Cowspiracy see how this is NOT a solution
Someone not something 🐂🐑🐑🐮🐮🐷
